Namibia

Charles and Amanda from Northamptonshire travelled to Namibia
We had an absolutely fantastic time in Namibia. Probably our best-ever trip, so many thanks for all your help and advice. It’s hard to rank so many different experiences, but our favourites were Hoanib Skeleton Coast Camp and Tok Tokkie Trail. Hoodia was also very good, mainly because of the expert guiding to Sossusvlei, which really was a step up from the usual level. In Swakopmund, the kayaking and Sandwich Bay 4×4 trip were great fun. Best wishes and thanks again.
Namibia
Pricing
Namibia is one of the few African destinations to really offer the full spectrum of prices, from cheap camping tours and modest self-drive options to hugely expensive private expeditions and luxury fly-in safaris. It is possible to see much of the country on a reasonable budget, but some of the more remote parts of Namibia can only be accessed by expensive air transfers, or on more specialist overland tours which tend to be more expensive too.
Typically, a tailor-made two week self-drive holiday, including economy flights from the UK, will start at around £2750.00 per person in low season, and rise to somewhere between £3500.00 and £5000.00 per person in the shoulder and high seasons. If you fly between destinations or choose very exclusive, upmarket properties or private safaris, then the price can easily be much higher. December to March is generally considered low season, April to June and November, shoulder, and July to October, high season.
We appreciate that going on safari in Africa is an expensive holiday, but we are always conscious of providing ‘value for money’. Our selection of properties for any itinerary is based entirely upon those which we feel will most closely match your requirements, whether that be budget driven or experience driven. It is sometimes very difficult to differentiate between a top-quality safari property, and one which offers a lesser experience. Accordingly, a safari which offers value for money should not necessarily be confused with a ‘cheap’ safari.
If you are planning your first safari, we suggest you look at our Planning a Safari section. We do not offer mainstream package tours (minibus tours), coastal package tours or cheap camping trips.
